Tablet

We don't know a lot of tablets receiving the Android 5.0 Lollipop but here's the LG G Pad 8.3 about to enjoy Android 5.1. The changes on the software may not be that noticeable but the fact that the LG tablet received the Lollipop last December and now this Android 5.1 is impressive. It's actually just for the Google Play Edition getting some more bug fixes and enhancements.

There are too many Galaxy Tab models and we're having a hard time remembering all their names. I just know Samsung calls them Galaxy Tab. Add one letter and then the screen size. The company revealed the Galaxy Tab A in Russia and the Galaxy Tab 3 Lite 7 aimed budget shoppers last month. This week, the South Korean electronics giant confirmed that the Galaxy Tab A Plus aka the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 9.7 will officially launch in Germany this coming May.

ASUS seems to be very busy launching its latest products in different parts of the world. This April, the ZenFone 2 and the PadFone S Plus will debut in Malaysia. We don't know if and when those Android phones will arrive in the United States but the ASUS MeMO Pad 7 LTE will definitely be available in the country, thanks to AT&T for bringing this exclusive offer. You can avail of this Intel-powered ASUS Android tablet from AT&T through select retailers and www.att.com starting April 10, Friday.

When Evernote 7 first came out for Android smartphones almost a month ago, users were pretty happy with the Material Design update, new collaborative features, and user-requested enhancements. But of course that was created just for the smaller screen and those of us who used tablets more often to access the note-taking and productivity app wished that it would also be optimized for larger screens. Well, they took their sweet time and now they're finally bringing the latest update for Android tablets.

While a lot of attention now has been lavished on Samsung's twin smartphones, the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 edge, one must not forget that that Korean manufacturer also creates tablets, though not as numerous as smartphones. It has a variety of them, ranging from the very low end to the bigger, "professional" kind. Among these, particularly noteworthy is the Galaxy Tab S generation, claiming to have the highest quality and resolution among tablets of its kind. And now you can get one for free if Lady Luck smiles on you on this Galaxy Tab S 8.4 Giveaway.

If we asked you what was the 5th largest tablet supplier in the US, would any of you answer E FUN? Probably not, but apparently it is. And now they're making their foray into the hybrid market with their first Android 2-in-1 laptop tablet, the Nextbook Ares 11. While it may not be the high-powered gadget that you've always dreamed of, at least it strives to bring you value for money with its features and functions.

The Android 5.0 Lollipop update has been official for some months now, but the roll-out to various devices has been going really slowly. In fact, Nexus devices, which understandably are way ahead of the pack, are already on the 5.1 update while a lot of other smartphones and tablets are still stuck with good ole KitKat. Sony just announced that its Xperia Z3 devices, namely the Xperia Z3, Xperia Z3 Compact, and Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact, will finally be receiving the update, specifically in markets other than the Baltics and the Nordics.

If you've been holding out for a bigger Motorola device, better stop holding your breath. The Nexus 6 might actually be the closest you'll get to a large Motorola screen. Company president and COO Rick Osterloh revealed on Twitter, in no uncertain terms, that Motorola currently has no plans on making tablets. While that definitely doesn't leave out future possibilities, there is one possible and practical reason why Motorola wouldn't want to. It wouldn't want to step on the toes of its new overlords, Lenovo.

If you're in the market for a new not so expensive (which also means not so high-end in terms of specs) tablet, Acer is giving you an alternative from the more popular brands that you see in the market. The Iconia Tab 10 is a 10.1-inch tablet that has a 1910x1200 IPS full HD display. It's a decent device if all you want to do is watch a few videos and use it as a personal digital assistant, with the occasional games thrown in.
